West Virginia Democrat. [volume] (Charles Town, W. Va.) 1885-1890, 1887-10-21

The last Virginia Legislature
stood: Senate, 80 Democrats and
l Republicans; the House, 6S Dem
ocrats and 80 Republicans. II of
the Senators holding over are Dem
ocrats and 4 of them are Rcpubli-
cans. Of the 10 districts in which
Senators are to be elected next
month seven are accounted assured
" Democratic and will return Dem
ocratic Senators. This will give
that party twenty-four in the Senate
with the seventeen Democratic hold
overs. But there are twelve remain
inc districts. OF these it is admit
ted that the Republicans will carry
seven, which would give that party
their quota of eleven in the last SEN
ate, including the four Republican
holdovers. The remaining other
five districts are doubtful, with the
chances immensely in favor Of the
Democrats. At any rate the Demo
Gratis are sure of Il good majority in
the Senate.

The following from the Monroe IVdtch-
man is admirably said and every word
true.
WANT z "A CONGRESSIONAL
CANDIDATE.

AS the time approaches for the
selection of democratic standard
bearer in the next campaign, it may
be we'll to classify our Legislators,
since, by so doing, we may find, if
not what man to nominate, at least
what men to avoid.
Congressman are divided into
statesmen, demagogues, intriguers
and fools.
The statesmen are few. They are
men of clear sight, and far-reaching
intellect who act for the good of the
country, mo pent up Utica confin-
inc their sway" Their work in and
out of the committee room is con-
scientious add thorough, and they
do not waste the peoples time in
their own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
The demagogues largely outnum-
Der the statesmen. They are the
loudmouthed takers, who retain
their positions by violently clamor
ing for things popular with the par
ty managers in their own district
and loudly opposing all other things.
They consider solely what is popu-
lar, not what is good. One of these
coming from Pennsylvania would
favor DANGEROUSLY high tariff on
Coal and Iron, and low on Cotton
and Sugar, while the same man COM
ing from Louisiana would hold the
exactly opposite view. In fact, the
present tariff complications are
largely due to these men, since I'M
der their system the stronger indus
tries are bound to be protected
while the weaker must goto the wall.
Besides this, voting as they do with
out reason, they know no such word
as compromise, and the war tariff
continues to Cypress the people.
The intriguers are that numerous
class who regard the giving of Off
ces as the chief duty of the govern
ment. They are found in the lob
bies and IN the rooms of the high
officials ready to procure anything
West Virginia Democrat. [volume] (Charles Town, W. Va.) 1885-1890, 1887-10-21

for an influential constituent, from a
pardon to q post-office. In the
midst of the session they leave inn
portant public business to attend to
itself while they secretly repair their
fences as home, and should they hap
pen to be present, they vote without
thought, on the follow my leader
principle. II does not require much
intelligence to thus ill an Office, and
candidates of the calibre required
grow on every bush. AS lawmakers
they are but little superior to last
class, namely: fools.
A glance at the legislative enact
ments of Congress will convince the
impartial observer that this is Meth
er the least numerous nor the least
influential class OF our law givers.
They owe their election sometimes
to the shadow of great name, some
times to an accident that brings
them into notice, but oftener, since
the tendency of modern politics is
to bribery and corruption, to lib
eral expenditure of their superfu-
Gus wealth. Comment on them is
unnecessary. They vary from the
stupidity Of a Tabor, to the open
buffoonery of Riddleberger,-
from the OWLS silent pretense of
wisdom to the folly Of the profes
sional clown.
We want no fool, we want no sci
fish intriguer, and no time serving
politician. What we need is an
honest man with brains. Oh, for
the lantern of old Diogenes, and Tor
better luck in our search than the
old philosopher had in his.

rebellion by the masses against that
political leadership which truckles
to the Jay Gould class: it is not op-
position to Democratic doctrine, but
rebellion against leadership that re-
fuses to enforce Democratic doc
trine, but rebellion against leader
ship that refuses to enforce demo-
cratic doctrine. The writer has
taken the trouble to become person
ally acquainted with the facts. and
he is convinced that if the election
were to be held now, the United
Labor Party would carry the city.
Perhaps there may be reaction be-
fore the Sth Of November, but the
present indications are that the
movement will be stronger than it is
to-day. II George carries Demo
cratic stronghold like New York,
the chances are that our politicians
will be stampeded; if stampeded
they may commit theblunder of try
ing to surrender the party to the
Jaw Gould class. That blunder
would certainly cost us the battle
one wear hence.

FROM SENATOR LUCAS.

Dear Sir MIR. Cleveland's admins
tration is, in all essential matters, wor-
thy of unqualified praise. Its most strik-
ing characteristic is clear and sterling
sense of public integrity. This is what
has commended it to the people. The
delegation of the Federal patronage into
the hands of Senators IL Representatives
was a serious error, but our people are
willing to condone many such mistakes
of judgment when they find man in
the presidents chair whose aims are on
" for the public veal, and who cannot
be swerved from the path of duty and
patriotism either by public clamor OF
supposed party interests.

GIGANTIC NEWSPAPER ENTER.
PRISE.

The most gigantic exhibition OF
journalistic enterprise ever witnessed
in this country was displayed by the
Chicago DAILY News in its issue OF
Tuesday, the 18th instant, the day
of the arrival of President Cleveland
and party in Chicago. The Ne~s,
consisting of ten pages, contained
letters of welcome to the President
from representatives Of every nativi-
ty in Chicago, ''couched in the YER
nacular of their native tongues
with the translation into English
annexed. These tributes embraced
the languages of the Algonquin, Nor
wegian, German, French, Hebrew,
Swedish, Gaelic Irish, Welsh, Span
ish, Russian, Turkish, Arabic, Elem
ish, Italian, Greek, Armenian, Jane-
nese, Chinese, Tervian and Croatian
each printed in its own alphabetic
characters.
In addition to this, the Ne,cS
prints three eight column pages OF
letters from representative men from
every State and Territory in the
Union, giving their views of Cleve-
lands administration. We give the
responses published to letters adj
dressed to leading men in Virginia
and West Virginia.:

The machine politicians are con-
stantly urging the Importance of
party organization, and they seem
to think that mere organization will
suffice to keep the rank and file in
line even altho' the party be used TO
thwart the popular judgment. In
PLAIN English, they assume that the
masses can be governed and plum
dered by means of the ballot box.
The results the machine politicians
have well nigh ostracised from all
share in public affairs the trusted
and respected men of the country.

The mistake which Democratic
politicians are in danger of making
lies in confounding their desires
with those OF the people. They
want the offices to parcel out among
those whodo their work, and the men
engaged in that work would gladly
see their reward in partisan dis
tribution of patronage. But the poll
ticians and their workers constitute
but 4 small portion of any party.
The people at large are not DESTROYS
of seeing the public service prOstitu-
ted to the uses of the politicians.

Dear Sir: President Cleveland's ad
ministration can scarcely be considered
a proper object for the criticism of an &c
clesiastic. AS such l am mainly con
cerned with the interests of religion and
the spiritual welfare of the people-anc
our constitution most fittingly puts
those beyond the province of our govern
ment. | am not aware that President
Cleveland has ever forgotten the sacred
ness of the domain of religion, and hence
his administration has been entirely sat,

the sacred rights of religion and con
science. JOHN ): kEANE,

President Cleveland is much
stronger than the politicians of his
party. Our hope is, his next mes
sage will serve as guarantee that
Democratic success really means an
honest and fearless enforcement of
the true principles of our party !
We hope it will be so explicit and
emphatic as to convince the body
Of voters that they can safely trust
our party for protection against the
aggressions of monopoly and against
the raids of the money power.
The President can place the party
in accord with the throbbing public
heart. Unless he uses this oppor-
tunity, the outlook is dark.

Presidents firm and consistent adler
ence to his declared civil-service policy,
notwithstanding the threats of party as
sociates and the taunts of his enemies;
90 with his action on the pension bills
in the face of the hostility and vindic-

80 with his course in practically rein
stating the Southern people TO their con-
stitutional rights in the government, of
which they had hitherto been deprived

/. His selection of eminent conserva-

,. The courage and fidelity which he
has exhibited in fulfilling his pledges
with reference to civil-service reform, in
the face of very great difficulties Incl
dental to the Inauguration of such new
departure from previously established
